DescriptionThe whole story▼

Shims 14/17/0.30, Öhlins part number 06704-17. Suspension technicians keep these in stock by size because a revalve means changing several at once.

  • Original Öhlins service part
  • Outer Diameter 17 mm

  • Inner Diameter 14 mm

Function

14 mm, 17 mm, 0.30 mm: that is the whole specification, and it has to match what came out. Two shims of the same thickness but different diameter give completely different curves. Öhlins holds thickness to hundredths of a millimetre because that is the resolution damping changes at. A coned or marked shim is finished — it no longer seals against its neighbour.

Genuine Service Part

The tolerances here are the ones the unit was assembled to, not a pattern equivalent's interpretation of them. Öhlins numbers every position so a workshop can order precisely what it needs, not a whole assembly. If you are between two sizes, send us the measurement and we will check it against the catalogue. We can supply the whole position from the drawing rather than the single piece if that is easier.

How to Be Sure It Fits

If the unit is already open, compare the dimensions below with the part in your hand before ordering 06704-17. Check inner diameter 14 mm, outer diameter 17 mm, thickness 0.30 mm against what you have removed; a close size is not the same part. Changing one shim in a stack alters the damping curve measurably; that is why Öhlins sells them individually rather than only as sets. A shim is a thin steel washer, and a stack of them is what actually generates damping in an Öhlins unit — the oil has to bend them out of the way to pass.

Fitting and Setup Service

Öhlins recommends that its units are serviced by an authorised centre. We are one: rebuild, revalve and setup all happen in our own workshop.
